Remembrance, gratitude, fortitude

Thanks to every U.S. soldier. From the first volunteers in Washington's Continental Army to the brave men who stormed the beaches at Normandy; to those who fought in the jungles of Vietnam, the streets of Baghdad, and the waters of the Pacific. Whether in war or peace, your sacrifices are the cornerstone and bedrock of the freedoms we and so many around the world are entrusted with today.

We will never forget. History will never forget.
